Deer flies - any good repellent?

Hey guys, does anyone know of any effective way to repel deer flies? I've tried high-deet bug repellents, rubbing down with fabric softeners, the thermacell, etc. - nothing works. I attract these things like a magnet. Tips?

haul arse.
we get them bad this time of year and have found no repellent. we have to fight them along the roads until we get back to river.
sorry, no good tips
eta: just thought of one. drive faster or run faster than your buddies.
i used to be faster than my boys, not so much now.

There's no way to escape them except maybe a camoflage bee suit. Even running faster won't help either they track you down or there's so many when you stop you're swarmed again.

My dads friend kept a bottle of this on his boat when we would go fishing in Montegut. This shite works great on gnats, dont know about deer flies.
